Chemist, Leigh RLFC fan, figuring out how to restore a steam engine, can possibly manage a conversation in Esperanto, learning to play the hurdy gurdy; you know, standard sort of stuff.

The continuing of Tory austerity makes so little sense. It's like reducing the food rations to your football team year on year, then wondering why their performance isn't improving.

We can't cut our way to a better society.

AI can't do the jobs that the grifters and useful idiots say it can. All the mass job losses that gullible CEOs are pushing for will cause those businesses to collapse and AI investors will lose their fortunes. Maybe then intelligent people can run companies instead.
Was 3 years ago that my #HurdyGurdy arrived. That was a good purchase. I can highly recommend buying a werid obscure over engineered medieval folk instrument you haven't the slightest idea how to play.
What a phenomenal defence in such heat! Amazing performance from #LeighLeopards defended incredibly then really took our chances when they came. A very good convincing win against Hull KR. #SuperLeague #Rugbyleague

If we want businesses to take climate change seriously, make it legal to stay off work if the temperature is 28C or over. Every climate change sceptic twat will get their net zero ducks in a row in double quick time.

How the fuck did these bastards manage to convince a fair-sized proportion of the UK public that migrants arriving on boats were their biggest problem?

I’m so tired of this misdirection shit.

Why can’t a single media outlet get through to the people of the UK:

Think about the problems in your life: does a migrant coming in on a small boat even rate in the top 100?
